Last Thursday night driving my series 3 over the moors into Brighouse in a
Snow Blizzard probably the happiest man on Earth.Pulling up in Tescos
between a Suburu and a BMW costing God Knows what!
Sat in the Cafe keeping an eye on the series 3 (making sure no toe rag
swipes the cb antenna(sorry can't spell areal)) noticed how a 25 year old
landy turned more heads than the expensive cars on either side.Now thats
"Xfactor"....
Another thing I noticed is when shoppers squash their trolleys between 2
cars they always avoid the Landy and scrape the opposite car.

Happy as Larry!!!!!!

Yes, it can be used as a tender for my squadron of flying pigs.
New brake pipes, new rear crossmember, new side glass....

I walked into a pup early-doors on evening, having just
arrived in the BrandNewLeopardSkinPillBoxHat (aka 1960
88 inch(ish) truck cab painted in Leopard Skin).

Landlord (to me) : "How much did that cost you?"
Me : "500 quid and three tins of Dulux"
Landlord (to posh bloke with Farrari outside) :"There you go,
30,000 quid less, and it turns more heads."

Made my day......

So many people tell us "huh, cool car, I wih I had one" - why do they
not?? Our Defender 90 (2.5td 1990) for sure was much cheaper than
their brand new Opels, VWs, Fords or whatever...

Brighouse in West Yorks didn't know there was another one....
The cost of my Series3, insurance,Tax, and running costs probably would come
to a couple of months insurance, or a power steering box on a flash car and
that gives me more reasons to be happy..
Isn't it good when 1 years insurance is less than 6 months car tax maybe I
should have a sticker in the back with a big smiley face on it explaining
this...

my years insurance (fully comp) is slightly lower than a years tax on my C
reg 90.
Which is nice :O)
